My office will be relocated this summer and my supervisor wants me to send a nearly 20-year-old Braille display to surplus, which means it will be most likely discarded. It is an 80-cell Braille Window from HumanWare, which worked well for me with JAWS from 1999 until 2013 when I was given a 64-bit computer. I offered it to our disability support office, but we have no other Braille users on campus. This machine has three major drawbacks: It works only with 32-bit computers. It connects through serial/parallel ports rather than USB or bluetooth. It is huge, compared to the newer slimmer displays. Should I discard this as an anachronism, or do any of you have ideas where it might be useful? It's so hard to think of throwing away a machine that still reports: braille display on" when I turn on the power. I still have the Braille user guide, although I think there was also a CD that I don't have readily available. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
